Hello Lightning Tamers!
I'm sharing with you a blog post by Mery Pataky, she's an artist that uses neon in her work is ways that are outside of of a convential setting, as well as a curator and promotor of wemen Neon Benders and Artists. Check out her recent post aobut LED and Neon, regarding misinformation on saftey and effiency remarks against neon. Also read through her post on interviews with various women neon artists and benders, you'll get an insight on how these artist and makers get around to making and persuing their work, talk about issues regarding learning and working, as well as discussions on the medium itself. Since following her on instagram, and checking out her page, I'm interested talking with her, and having her on the podcast in the near future.

Dylan is the Creative Director at Western Neon, and the Western Neon School of Art, which just opened this year. Offering classes to the public to explore the process of neon for artists, hobbyist, and students. Dylan will talk about his role at Western Neon, Challenges that come with Neon, Classes and future of Western Neon School of Art.
Dylan and I were introduced through Dani Kaes, who is a Neon Apprentice at Western Neon. Though we officially connected through Instagram, we have briefly crossed paths while she was staff and I was a student during Summer workshop at Pilchuck Glass School, the origin of my interest in Plasma and Neon. So I’d like to thank Dani for connecting us, and perhaps we’ll have her on a future podcast. Show Notes
Thank You for listening to the Taming Lightning Podcast. I’d like to thank Dani Kaes for connecting me with Dylan Neuwirth and Western Neon, and Dylan for taking the time to be on the podcast. While we did touch up on his work, I highly recommend going to his website and looking through his work and writings. I hope to have him on the podcast again to discuss a few things that I’ve been thinking about since the initial recording. Also, I’d like to thank Pittsburgh Glass Center for supporting me as a place of research and inspiration, as well as encouraging me to pursue this project, and the Plasma Art Alliance where I have access to the well of knowledge, and connects me to some amazing people.
Keep an eye out for more classes at Pittsburgh Glass Center as we work to provide a space for learning neon and plasma. See you Next Time! Percy Echols II Taming Lightning ⚡ More Information
Hello Lighting Tamer!
So far the sound booth I setup at the Brew House Association's Distillery Studios is working well. I've also begun to use it as a space for my work with electronics (saves my kitchen table from any unecessary burns or scratches).
